UNDER ACT 2, 1995
PREAMBLE 1
Acknowledgment of Notices of Intent to Remediate Submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Sections 302--305 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin an acknowledgment noting receipt of Notices of Intent to Remediate. An acknowledgment of the receipt of a Notice of Intent to Remediate is used to identify a site where a person proposes to, or has been required to, respond to a release of a regulated substance at a site. Persons intending to use the Background Standard, Statewide Health Standard, the Site-Specific Standard or who intend to remediate a site as a special industrial area must file a Notice of Intent to Remediate with the Department. A Notice of Intent to Remediate filed with the Department provides a brief description of the location of the site, a list of known or suspected contaminants at the site, the proposed remediation measures for the site and a description of the intended future use of the site. A person who demonstrates attainment of one, a combination of the cleanup standards or who receives approval of a special industrial area remediation identified under the act will be relieved of further liability for the remediation of the site for any contamination identified in reports submitted to and approved by the Department. Furthermore, the person shall not be subject to citizen suits or other contribution actions brought by responsible persons not participating in the remediation.
Under sections 304(n)(1)(ii) and 305(c)(2) of the act, there is a 30-day public and municipal comment period for sites proposed for remediation using a Site-Specific Standard, in whole or in part, and for sites remediated as a special industrial area. This period begins when a summary of the Notice of Intent to Remediate is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area of the site. For the sites identified, proposed for remediation to a Site-Specific Standard or as a special industrial area, the municipality within which the site is located may request to be involved in the development of the remediation and reuse plans for the site if the request is made within 30 days of the date specified. During this comment period, the municipality may request that the person identified as the remediator of the site develop and implement a public involvement plan. Requests to be involved and comments should be directed to the remediator of the site.
For further information concerning the content of a Notice of Intent to Remediate, contact the environmental cleanup program manager in the Department regional office before which the notice appears. If information concerning this acknowledgment is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate regional office.

17-00055B: River Hill Power Company, LLC (94 Spruce Street, Indiana, PA 15701-8424) for revisions to the PM--PM10, lead and beryllium emission limitations established in Plan Approval No. 17-00055A for construction of circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler with the 290 megawatt waste coal fired electric generating facility in Karthaus Township, Clearfield County. The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) issued Plan Approval No. 17-00055A for construction of the facility on July 21, 2005, expiring on July 21, 2007. This application is subject to the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) of Air Quality regulations of 40 CFR 52.21 and the Best Available Technology (BAT) requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12.
The facility's PM and PM10 emissions are subject to the PSD requirements. The Department has determined that the proposed level of PM and PM10 emission control satisfies BAT and the Best Available Control Technology (BACT) requirements. The facility is also subject to the Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources for Subpart Da: New Electric Utility Steam Generating Units, 40 CFR 60.40a--49a and satisfies all applicable requirements of this subpart. The CFB boiler will emit up to 125.7 tons of filterable PM10, 628.7 tons of total PM10, including both filterable and condensable PM10, 714 pounds of lead and 216 pounds of beryllium in any 12-consecutive month period.
In accordance with the PSD provisions of 40 CFR 52.21 and 25 Pa. Code § 127.83, River Hill has provided an air quality Class II modeling analysis that demonstrates that the proposed power facility will not cause or significantly contribute to air pollution in violation of the PSD increment standards or the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. In addition, the PSD regulations require an analysis of the impact of the facility's projected PM emissions on visibility, and soils and vegetation, and the air quality impact due to growth associated with the power facility. River Hill has demonstrated that there will be no adverse impact on local visibility and soils and vegetation in the site area and no appreciable air quality impact due to growth associated with the power facility. In accordance with the PSD regulations, River Hill has also provided an air quality Class I modeling analysis and has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Federal Land Managers that the power facility's projected emissions will not adversely impact air quality related values, including visibility, within Federal Class I areas. Furthermore, modeled ambient concentrations of SO2, NOx and PM10 in the Dolly Sods, Otter Creek and Shenandoah National Park Class I areas are below the respective significant impact levels (SIL) for Class I PSD increments.
The air quality modeling analysis estimates that the operation of the River Hill power facility will result in Class II area increment consumption for PM10 of 20.8 µg/m3 of the allowable 30 µg/m3 24-hour PM10 increment standard and 10.2 µg/m3 of the allowable 17 µg/m3 annual PM10 increment standard. The air quality modeling analysis estimates that the operation of the River Hill power facility will result in maximum Class I area impacts that will not exceed the Class I SIL for PM10. The maximum PM10 Class I impact is 0.174 µg/m3 of the applicable 0.3 µg/m3 24-hour PM10 SIL and 0.00392 µg/m3 of the applicable 0.2 µg/m3 annual PM10 SIL.
The Department's review of the information contained in the application indicates that the proposed revisions will comply with all State and Federal requirements as specified pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants. Based on this finding, the Department intends to approve the application and issue plan approval for the proposed revisions. The Department proposes the following plan approval conditions to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements.
1. Under BACT of the PSD provisions in 40 CFR 52.21 and of 25 Pa. Code § 127.83, as well as the BAT provisions in 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the emission of filterable PM10 from the exhaust of the fabric collector associated with the CFB boiler shall not exceed 0.010 pound per million Btu of heat input, 28.7 pounds per hour and 125.7 tons in any 12-consecutive month period. In addition, the permittee shall not emit any total PM from the exhaust of the fabric collector associated with the CFB boiler with an aerodynamic diameter greater than 10 microns.
2. Under BACT of the PSD provisions in 40 CFR 52.21 and 25 Pa. Code § 127.83, as well as the BAT provisions in 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the emission of PM10, from the exhaust of the fabric collector associated with the CFB boiler shall not exceed 0.050 pound per million Btu of heat input, 143.6 pounds per hour and 628.7 tons in any 12-consecutive month period. The total PM10 emission limitation shall include filterable and condensable PM.
3. Under BAT provisions in 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the emission of lead from the exhaust of the fabric collector associated with the CFB boiler shall not exceed 28.4 pounds per trillion Btu of heat input, 0.0815 pound per hour and 714 pounds in any 12-consecutive month period.
4. Under BAT provisions in 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the emission of beryllium from the exhaust of the fabric collector associated with the CFB boiler shall not exceed 8.58 pounds per trillion Btu of heat input, 0.0246 pound per hour and 216 pounds in any 12-consecutive month period.
5. Under 25 Pa. Code § 127.12b, the Department will evaluate the actual emission rates and may revise (decrease or increase) the allowable emission rates based upon demonstrated performance (CEM data, stack test results and/or subsequently promulgated applicable requirements) during the first 5 years of operation. Any revision of the allowable emission rates shall be accomplished by minor modification provided that the revised allowable emission rates do not exceed levels at which the lowest achievable emission rate (LAER), BACT and BAT were evaluated do not exceed the level at which facility impacts were modeled and is not a result of a physical change at the facility.
6. Within 120 days of achieving maximum production, but no later than 180 days after initial startup, the permittee shall perform testing on the exhaust of the fabric collector associated with the CFB boiler to verify the total PM10 (filterable and condensable), the filterable PM10, total PM, beryllium and lead emission rates. Testing shall be performed while Source ID 031 is operating at its maximum rate of production, using test methods and procedures approved by the Department. For PM emission testing, the permittee shall perform EPA Method 5 (40 CFR Part 60, Appendix A-3), EPA Method 201 or 201A (40 CFR Part 51, Appendix M), and EPA Method 202 (40 CFR Part 51, Appendix M) testing, or other testing methods as approved by the Department. These tests shall be repeated on a yearly basis. The permittee may request a change in the frequency of the testing once enough data has been established to verify compliance.
7. Under the PSD provisions in 40 CFR 52.21 and 25 Pa. Code § 127.83, as well as the BAT provisions in 25 Pa.

10. Under the PSD provisions in 40 CFR 52.21 and 25 Pa. Code § 127.83, as well as the BAT provisions in 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the CFB boiler shall not be operated for any reason unless the associated PM10 CEMS, capable of monitoring filterable PM10, has received Phase I approval from the Department and has subsequently been installed and made operational in accordance with the conditions of this plan approval.
11. The data collected from the PM10 CEMS shall not be used to demonstrate compliance with any emission limitation specified in this plan approval for up to 24 months from the initial start of operation of the CFB boiler. During the 24-month period, the Department will evaluate the PM10 CEMS data and, if the Department determines that the data is representative of actual PM10 emissions from the CFB boiler, the Department will require the permittee to submit a Phase II plan in accordance with the Department's Continuous Source Monitoring Manual for Department approval.
12. Upon request by the Department, the permittee shall perform relative accuracy testing on the PM10 CEMS. All performance specification testing shall be conducted in accordance with Performance Specification 11 of Appendix B of 40 CFR Part 60 and any appropriate performance specification test procedures contained in the latest revision of the Department's Continuous Source Monitoring Manual.
13. Within 30 months from the initial start of operation of the CFB boiler, the PM10 CEMS shall be fully certified in accordance with the Department's Continuous Source Monitoring Manual. The data from the certified PM10 CEMS shall be used to demonstrate compliance with the filterable PM10 emission limitation for the CFB boiler.
14. After 24 months from the initial start of operation of the CFB boiler, if the Department determines that the data from the PM10 CEMS is not representative of actual PM10 emissions from the CFB boiler, the Permittee may discontinue the operation of the PM10 CEMS upon the notification of the Department.
15. The permittee shall keep comprehensive and accurate records of: the supporting calculations for filterable PM10 emissions from the fabric collector associated with the CFB boiler to verify compliance with the filterable PM10 emissions limitations of pound per million Btu of heat input, pounds per hour and tons in any 12-consecutive month period; the supporting calculations for total PM10 emissions from the fabric collector associated with the CFB boiler to verify compliance with the total PM10 emissions limitations of pound per million Btu of heat input, pounds per hour and tons in any 12-consecutive month period; the supporting calculations for lead emissions from the fabric collector associated with the CFB boiler to verify compliance with the lead emissions limitations of pounds per trillion Btu of heat input, pounds per hour and pounds in any 12-consecutive month period; and the supporting calculations for beryllium emissions from the fabric collector associated with the CFB boiler to verify compliance with the beryllium emissions limitations of pounds per trillion Btu of heat input, pounds per hour and pounds in any 12-consecutive month period.
16. The permittee shall keep records associated with the continuous emission monitoring system for filterable PM10 emissions from the exhaust of the fabric collector associated with the CFB boiler in accordance with all applicable requirements specified in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 139 and the Department's Continuous Source Monitoring Manual.
17. The permittee shall submit reports to the Department on a semiannual basis that include the supporting calculations used to verify compliance with the filterable PM10, total PM10, lead and beryllium emissions limitations in any 12-consecutive month period.
18. The permittee shall submit all reports to the Department associated with the continuous emission monitoring system for filterable PM10 emissions from the exhaust of the fabric collector associated with the CFB boiler in accordance with all applicable requirements specified in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 139 and the Department's Continuous Source Monitoring Manual.
